Fix: Crash when unregistering UST apps during shutdown

Observed issue
==============

The following crash has been observed in v2.12.2:

```
function=0x55ac7c4c9600 <_ PRETTY FUNCTION .12873> "lttng_ustconsumer_close_metadata") at assert.c:92
function=0x55ac7c4c9600 <_ PRETTY FUNCTION .12873> "lttng_ustconsumer_close_metadata") at assert.c:101
```

The underlying cause is applicable in the current master branch as
well.

Cause
=====

There is a potential race between the threads the consumerd control
thread which handles commands coming from the sessiond and the main
thread when shutting down a consumerd.

Is it possible that the following happens:

1. `destroy_metadata_stream_ht` has the locks on `consumer_data`,
`channel`, `stream`
2. `lttng_ustconsumer_close_all_metadata` looks up the channel and starts to try and acquire a channel lock (`stream->chan->lock`)
3. `destroy_metadata_stream_ht` sets `stream->chan` to `null`
4. `destroy_metadata_stream_ht` releases the `stream`, `channel`, and `consumer_data` locks
5. `lttng_ustconsumer_close_all_metadata` now has the channel lock, and looks up `stream->chan` again to call `destroy_metadata_stream_ht`, and that member is now null

Solution
========

Acquire the stream lock after acquiring the channel lock.

part 2 follows: don't set stream->chan to null.

Known drawbacks
===============

None.
